ARI-Armaturen UK Ltd will be exhibiting on stand BV100 in the ‘Valve Zone’ at the Fluid Power & Systems show at the NEC, Birmingham, 10-12 April. Specialising in equipment for steam, heat transfer and energy management, ARI-Armaturen offers an extensive range of valves, steam traps and engineered systems for numerous applications and industries.

Providing various equipment, ARI works with many companies over the UK to help those sites achieve low maintenance, maximum sustainability, optimum efficiency and increased operational lifetime.

On stand BV100 at this year’s exhibition will be a variety of products that promote energy efficiency, safety and durability. As well as an impressive range of valves and steam traps, ARI will be exhibiting the ENCOsys – a compact, low maintenance steam to water plate heat exchanger. With the ability to supply hot water instantaneously up to 2100Kw, this is a proficient heating and hot water system which can offer considerable savings in energy and cost when compared to more traditional systems such as shell and tube.

The CONA Control will also be featuring, this is a smart device designed to test all onsite steam traps and eliminate unnecessary steam or energy loss. With reports showing that around 22% of steam that leaves boilers in a plant is lost via leaking traps and that a 3mm orifice under a pressure of 7 bar/100 psi can result in the loss of 25 tonnes of steam per annum, this product is a great tool for keeping boiler plant costs down, improving efficiency and reducing the risk of safety hazards caused by blockages in a steam system.

The ZETRIX premium triple offset isolation valve will be set up as a double block and bleed arrangement. Boasting zero leakage and emissions, the ZETRIX provides guaranteed isolation (conforming to leakage rate A in accordance with DIN EN12266-1) and is suitable for liquids, gases and vapours. The block and bleed system offers the only proved isolation, in accordance with HSE guidance 253 (Safe Isolation of Plant & Equipment), which states that double block and bleed is greatest in the hierarchy of mechanical security for isolation methods.
